Celebrity teeth transformations

The most shocking celebrity teeth transformations in Showbiz revealed.

If you use your teeth to remove clothes labels or twist off bottle caps, you could cause permanent dental damage.

“People often use their teeth as tools for cutting, ripping and opening various objects. However, this can cause serious stress and damage to their structure and strength,” says Dr Patel.

“Using your teeth as a tool carries the risk of fracturing one.

“When it becomes damaged, chips, fractures or cracks can appear which can cause decay and increase sensitivity.”

To prevent this from happening avoid using your teeth for anything else other than eating.

Choosing red lipsticks with a blue undertone will make your teeth appear whiter

LIPSTICK

Your lipstick shade could be making your teeth look yellow.

“Drawing on basic colour-wheel principles, if you choose orange, pink or yellow-based lipsticks, they will make your teeth appear more yellow, says Dr Mervyn Druian of the London Centre For Cosmetic Dentistry (londoncosmetic dentistry.co.uk).

“Choose reds with a blue undertone as these will make your teeth appear whiter.”

While it might be good for your waistline with fewer calories than wine, prosecco has a high carbon dioxide level, which is acidic and attacks the enamel.

“It also contains about a teaspoon of sugar per glass,” explains Dr Druian.

To combat this, alternate glasses of prosecco with still water and when drinking the water, swill it around your mouth and teeth.

DON’T NIBBLE YOUR NAILS

Nail biting is not just a bad habit, it can also badly damage your teeth.

“The muscles we use to chew are stronger than we realise and biting nails can dislodge veneers and fillings,” says dentist Dr Stanley Kay of the Harley Street Dental Clinic (harleystreetdentalclinic.co.uk).

And Dr Kay adds: “The best way to prevent this is to keep your nails short or use an unpleasant-tasting nail polish.”
